FAQs
VP1201BG101Q00 uses standard G1/8 ports, enabling straightforward mounting on common manifolds and compatible fittings. For best performance, ensure clean, dry compressed air, verify correct port orientation, and align the 0–10 V control signal with your PLC or motion controller. Tighten connections to avoid leaks and confirm the enclosure provides adequate protection for the IP20 rating.
Key specs include flow capacity of 190 L/m, operating pressure from 0 to 1 bar (0 to 15 psi), operating temperature from 0 to 60 °C, and a control input of 0–10 V. The port size is G1/8, the body is zinc, and the unit weighs about 0.2 kg. These figures define its suitability for mid-range pneumatic actuation in automation lines.
Yes. The VP1201BG101Q00 is designed for precise analog control of compressed air, making it well-suited for packaging line actuators and robotic grippers. Its 0–10 V input supports standard PLC outputs, while its compact form factor and 190 L/m flow ensure responsive yet energy-efficient actuation in tight spaces.
The product carries an IP20 protection rating, indicating protection against solid objects larger than 12 mm but no ingress protection against liquids. This rating suits typical indoor factory environments. No other certifications are listed in the provided data; consult the datasheet for full regulatory coverage and regional approvals.
Install with clean, dry air and correct G1/8 fittings to minimize leaks. Use a standard 0–10 V controller and verify wiring integrity to ensure consistent control signal delivery. Periodic inspection of seals and connections helps prevent leaks and pressure drops, while leveraging IP20-rated protection reduces enclosure maintenance. A compact valve like VP1201BG101Q00 can reduce energy use and improve cycle times in automation lines.
